Appointment's... confused!!! 🤔

Hi,
I'm six weeks tomorrow and found out on the 28th December. We managed to get in to see GP on same day who just said to book in for two weeks time to see a midwife. She didn't do any tests, she prescribed me some antibiotics as I had an infection (I get them regularly as dodgy kidneys)
So appointment was for yesterday to see midwife, however got a call from doctors saying too early to see a midwife and was told to call the children's centre??? Which I did, I left messages and spoke to a lady who said a midwife would call me back ... which they didn't !
But my question is, is this normal that you don't see anyone or get any form of tests or checkup until 8 weeks or more???

Completely normal! We dont even see a dr here for confirmation. Fill a self referral for midwife and wait. I was 6 weeks yesterday and still havent heard anything. I think u normally see midwife at 9 weeks ish x

Congratulations!!!yes that is right, i saw the nurse practitioner on 29th December and was told the midwife wouldnt see anyone until the 8 week mark....my first midwife appt is booked for 25th Jan....i'll be 8+5 then :)
